For an extra touch of elegance, drizzle a small amount of balsamic glaze over the finished pizza. If you prefer a smokier flavor, use applewood smoked bacon. Freshly made pesto will provide the best flavor, but store-bought pesto can be used in a pinch. Try using a pizza stone for a crispier crust. Adjust the amount of bacon, pear, and goat cheese to your personal taste preferences.
